rocker quips: I don't know, I like the idea of having something that does not involve the use of more cords, more room and ofcourse, moving my tape deck between my HiFi and my PC. Also, I'm sure the software that comes with this would be simpler to use? Have not checked that though. Don't even know if it is accessible.

Around here, I can't even find anyone stocking a cassette deck, and not for less than that. Fortunately, I bought one of the RCA's Radio Shack sold for $40 a while back and it's doing fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Scanlon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
